. . . made you this little video.  Pass it on to everyone you know?

Of less interest — except to me — Farnborough’s official 5-minute video recap of last week’s biennial air show.  There are something like 1,400 exhibitors at the show, but once the camera takes you past the giant Boeing sign […]

But first:

Breathtaking: “WATCH: House Dems Chant ‘USA!’ As Republicans Strip Funding From Election Security.”

And second:

If you attended the biennial Farnborough Airshow this week, here’s what you saw at WheelTug’s double-decker stand.  One feature: a cockpit simulator pilots can sit in, driving the adjacent scale-model aircraft.

I’m guessing you saw and read President Obama’s speech Tuesday, shortly after he delivered it in South Africa.  If not, here it is.  Dignity, decency, humility, and hope.

We are a deeply stupid country, writes Dana Milbank in the Washington Post.  Just ask our “very stable genius” president.  Laugh through the tears of our national emergency.

Turns out, he sent damning texts about Hillary and Bernie, too. And especially damning […]

Yesterday’s post included David Frum’s prophetic and enlightening piece in the March 2017 Atlantic, How to Build an Autocracy.

Recognizing most of you likely didn’t have time to read it, I’m simply going to repeat:
